The LPN/LVN is asked to perform teaching for a group of clients. Which of the following situations would be appropriate for the LPN/LVN to teach?
1. Community CPR
2. Initial preoperative teaching for a group of cardiac clients
3. Initial discharge teaching for clients in the hospital
4. Providing an inservice to a group of RNs on the stages of labor
1
Rationale: The LPN/LVN who completes the instructor course in CPR may teach a CPR class. Initial teaching required by a client is completed by the RN, and then the LPN/LVN reinforces client teaching. The LPN/LVN would not usually provide RN inservices, although the LPN/LVN may participate in teaching the nursing staff.
